Chapter 137: Horror in the Cave, Extra Footsteps
Following Li Daoxuan's finger, everyone discovered that there was indeed a new mountain in the southwest. The mountain was very tall and bare, forming a sharp contrast with the other peaks.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain. People in front of it are like tiny ants. The cave is pitch black, with gusts of cold wind that sound like the cry of ghosts.
There was a faint black fog covering the outside of the cave, which really looked like the legendary gate of hell. It seemed that once one stepped into the cave, one would leave the world of the living and enter the underworld.
“Such a strong negative energy!”
Taoist Wu's expression became extremely solemn. If he had any doubts before, now he was certain of it.
There actually is a Seven Skeleton Formation near Longyou County!
If it weren't for Master Li's master using his magical powers to break the Seven Skeleton Formation, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual even if he came here.
Suddenly, Chunsheng let out a scream, scaring everyone.
“It’s so hot!”
Chunsheng took out a handful of glutinous rice from his arms, and his face suddenly changed. He saw that the glutinous rice had turned black at some point!
Glutinous rice has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and is even more effective against zombies, so many Taoists carry some with them.
Zhang Qianyang floated down and looked at the black glutinous rice. He said in a concentrated voice, "In addition to Yin Qi, there is also corpse Qi. It's such a heavy corpse Qi!"
Even Zhang Qianyang, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment. He hadn't even approached the zombie yet, but the cold wind from the cave entrance had turned the glutinous rice into black. It can be seen how terrible the corpse gas inside was.
Li Daoxuan asked with some concern: "Master, could it be that the drought demon has already grown?"
If the drought demon has already been cultivated, then if the few of them go in, they will most likely be killed for nothing, so it is better to call the big guy over.
But if that happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the kill.
Zhang Qianyang was originally confident that it was impossible to raise a drought demon in just half a year. But looking at the situation, he was a little unsure.
He looked at Wu Qiubai and asked, "Does it usually snow in Longyou County at this time of year?"
Although Wu Qiubai didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, the means Zhang Qianyang displayed when breaking the formation just now had completely convinced him.
He said respectfully, "It usually snows at this time of year."
Zhang Qianyang's eyes showed a trace of worry, and he said, "When the drought demon appears, the land will be barren for thousands of miles. It hasn't snowed this year. I'm afraid it has something to do with the thing in the cave!"
Wu Qiubai was shocked and said, "You mean, it has become a drought demon in there? If that's the case, I will ask the master to come out immediately!"
Zhang Qianyang shook his head and said, "No hurry. Qingxuan should be in the critical stage of breaking through to the Yang God Realm, and he is also responsible for guarding the dragon. Don't disturb him unless it is extremely critical."
Hearing this, Wu Qiubai's eyes widened. How could the other party know the master so well and address him so casually? Could he be the master's friend?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Zhang Qianyang glanced at him and said calmly, "Back then, Xu Qingxuan wanted to pursue my junior sister, but I beat him up. But fighting is the best way to get to know each other. That guy has some backbone, which suits my taste, so I taught him a few moves."
Wu Qiubai almost lost his balance. What the hell?
The sword immortal master in his mind was so cool and unrestrained, but he would also be jealous of ordinary people and even get beaten up?
So what is the identity of this person in front of me?
Li Daoxuan smiled secretly. That junior sister should be the Ningyan that his master was talking about when he was drunk.
It seems that Master's sister was not an ordinary person in her past. She made Master and Wanshou Palace's sword master Xu Qingxuan fall in love with her.
After this interruption, the pressure in everyone's hearts dissipated a lot.
Zhang Qianyang took the lead and walked into the "Gate of Hell" and turned back to say, "Let's go, follow closely, let's go meet the man behind the scenes."
To be able to set up the lost Seven Skeletons Formation to raise the drought demon, it is such a big deal, the person behind the scenes must be no simple person.
Zhang Qianyang was somewhat curious about this opponent.
The four people entered the cave, Zhang Qianyang was in the front, Li Daoxuan and Chunsheng followed in the middle, and Wu Qiubai took the initiative to cover the rear.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, everyone felt the temperature around them drop sharply, as if they had suddenly entered an ice cave . Chunsheng, who had the lowest cultivation level, couldn't help but shiver.
Chunsheng drew out his sword, injected magic power into it, and a faint white light flowed on the sword body, which could illuminate.
There was some fear in his eyes as he stared at the darkness, his hands tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.
Li Daoxuan knew at a glance that he did not have much combat experience.
But he didn't say anything. People come here step by step, and after killing a few zombies, they will gain experience.
Suddenly, Chunsheng shouted, swung the sword in his hand downward, his face pale.
Li Daoxuan sighed, "It's just a mouse, Taoist Chunsheng, don't be too nervous."
Chunsheng then realized that the one that died under his sword was just a mouse, which had been cut into two pieces by him.
His face turned red and he said, "Yes, I'm sorry..."
Wu Qiubai saw it all clearly from behind and couldn't help but shake his head.
As young disciples, Li Daoxuan was much younger than Chunsheng, yet he was unrestrained, calm and composed. In contrast, his own disciples were timid and easily startled, and their mentality was very different.
The four walked for a while and found that the passage in the cave was cold, damp, extremely narrow, long and monotonous, as if it had no end and led to the underworld.
"wrong!"
Li Daoxuan suddenly spoke up.
Zhang Qianyang stopped and asked, "Disciple, what did you find?"
He knew his apprentice, who was always bold and careful, and he must have discovered something when he spoke.
Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "My sword box was shaking just now, and...the footsteps sounded wrong."
"There are only four of us, but the footsteps I heard just now seemed to be more than four."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Especially Wu Qiubai, who was left behind, broke out in a cold sweat. Could there be something else following him?
They were all cultivators, and were very sensitive to Yin Qi and corpse Qi. However, this cave was like a chaotic magnetic field, with Yin Qi and corpse Qi everywhere, which made them lose their keen perception.
Chunsheng's body was shaking at this moment, and his rapid heartbeat was like a drum.
Zhang Qianyang said calmly: "Don't look back yet, keep moving forward, and listen carefully to the footsteps."
Everyone continued to move forward.
Li Daoxuan's ears moved and he listened attentively.
One, two, three, four, five!
There were five footsteps in total!
Everyone heard it clearly and immediately realized that there was a dirty creature following them quietly.
Fortunately, there is only one dirty thing, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
Li Daoxuan reacted the fastest and had already thrown out several amulets in succession, which fell on everyone.
Wu Qiubai said: "Thank you, Taoist Li. Leave the dirty stuff behind to me."
After all, he was a Taoist monk from the Wanshou Palace. He quickly calmed down, made a sword gesture with his hands, and said, "Quick!"
clang!
The Qingxia Sword was unsheathed and automatically shot behind him.
At the same time, everyone immediately turned around and looked back, and with the help of the sword light of the Qingxia Sword, they could see the scene behind them clearly.
In an instant, everyone felt their scalp tingling.
Chunsheng's legs were almost limp from fear.
Following behind the crowd were indeed zombies, wearing rotten clothes, covered with white hair, and with hideous and ferocious appearances.
Zombies are nothing , and everyone is worldly-wise, but the problem is, it’s not a zombie.
Instead, it was a long, densely packed line of people. They moved in unison, jumping up and landing at the same time, landing lightly, so there was only the sound of one footstep.
